Your 8 Year Old Self

I'm not really sure. Maybe happy that I pursued my love for writing? Perhaps that I even found a way to express myself through it as well. I can't really remember that much from being eight, if at all. XD
 
my 8-year-old self would probably be impressed i'm still playing video games, as i've been playing them since i was 8. (:
 
There are a lot of sad eight year olds in this topic.
 
Hahaha well 8 year old me would be disappointed that I still have a gap in my teeth, but at 21 I've fully accepted it. I haven't made any profound accomplishments on paper, but I think I am a happier/healthier me and younger me would be happy older me has come to terms with myself.
 
My 8 year old self would be very disappointed by the lack of maturing from then to now ;(
 
I think they would feel bad about how far more matured I am now than I was at that very age. Seriously, I was misbehaved like heck in my tiny years.
 
My 8 year old me would just ignore me and walk to my computer :/ I'd tell him stories about science, and bullshit around half of it, and he would love it.
 
I'm sure 22 year old me and 8 year old me would get along just fine. I liked Pokemon at that age and still do now. 8 y/o me would probably think it's awesome to find a "grown up" (she might think I am, but I wouldn't say that haha) girl likes Pokemon. Finding other female fans as a kid was difficult and I was always afraid I'd grow out of it. So yeah. 8 y/o Alli would probably be pretty happy and be friends with 22 y/o me.

But 22 y/o me would be severely judging 8 y/o me's choice of clothing.
 
I don't think they would think anything? At 8 years old, I was more concerned with playing Pokémon than I was aspiring for the future or considering what and how I wanted to be when I was older. That didn't start happening until middle school, honestly. Some of you guys are starting to concern me with all this career talk coming from 8 year old children.
 
Mine would probably be like:

"Damn, your entire high school career was nuts!" I had fun in hig hschool, and did some crazy things. I've changed a lot since I was an 8 year old. lol
 
"So you're telling me you don't want to be a doctor?"

Probably that.
 
22yo Nichole vs 8yo Nichole... very contrasting, but my younger self enjoyed playing a lot (and also watching the 2000 Olympics which were held in my home city of Sydney) while the current me is more of a funny critic on music, and also some other stuff I catch around the internet. I was also quite the little athlete at school when I was younger, winning quite well in my division, and I still have my near-intelligent mind today.
 
My 8 year old would probably be very proud of me.
I'm still a gamer after 8 years. And I now make Pokemon Lets plays, so he would be double proud of me :3
 
They should be proud that they would be breaking sexist stereotypes in the future and would have a lust to consume ramen. They wouldn't be surprised that they would still not belong and fit in with society. And that they would say single regardless of age.
 
I can't see my 8yo opinion of the present me being meaningful in any way. I can't even see an 8yo me having an opinion on anything.

"Not bad. Future Jay."

"You could have done better though, past Jay."

That's about it. Mild appreciation and expectancy.
 
My 8-year-old self would be disappointed as hell that I can no longer recite every single Pokémon's name by heart. :/
